Vaute is an innovative and compassionate fashion brand founded by Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart. With a deep passion for animal rights and sustainability, Vaute offers a range of 100% vegan and zero waste products. They specialize in unique bridal gowns, engagement rings, and fine jewelry, all ethically made with sustainable materials.

Leanne's journey began as an animal activist, fighting for dissection alternatives and raising funds for local animal shelters through her art. In 2008, while pursuing her MBA and modeling in Hong Kong, she realized she could make a difference in the fashion industry by speaking up for animals. She saw the need for a better alternative to traditional outerwear made from animals, and thus Vaute was born.

Over the years, Vaute has achieved remarkable milestones, including saving thousands of geese and sheep from exploitation, recycling thousands of plastic bottles, and supporting local artisans in NYC and Chicago. However, as the brand grew, maintaining its ethical and design standards became challenging in the current industry. After a period of reflection and self-discovery, Leanne decided to relaunch Vaute as a small and slow business.

The focus is on creating a limited number of unique pieces each month, made with high artistic value and sustainable materials. By supporting inspiring women and artists, Vaute aims to celebrate love, reduce waste, and speak up for animals.
